AVOID BY ALL MEANS
We arrived at The Breakers Diving and Surfing Lodge for a planned vacation, only to experience a severe operational and ethical failure at check-in. From the start, the arrival was deeply unprofessional, with hostile security staff and a complete lack of standard luggage assistance. However, the core failure lies entirely with the front desk agent, Bessada. I presented a confirmed, valid Booking.com reservation explicitly stating we had booked a double room. Bessada completely ignored the digital confirmation, insisted the system showed a single room, and forced a predatory ultimatum upon us: either pay three times (3x) the confirmed room rate on the spot to access the double room, or wait in the reception area for over 4 hours because no manager or supervisor was on duty or available to handle escalations. To be forced into financial penalization just to access a room that was already legally booked and confirmed is a complete breach of hospitality standards. Bessada’s attitude was dismissive, confrontational, and utterly unhelpful, actively ruining our arrival. If management does not actively police these front-desk rate manipulations and the unprofessional conduct of staff like Bessada, travelers should avoid this property entirely. A verified complaint regarding this booking rate violation is being escalated directly to Booking.com corporate customer protection.
Calm retreat under palms for snorkeling, diving, kiting and relaxing
We came here for an educational trip from our our university to study the local reef fish. The Breakers offered the perfect atmosphere for us to focus on what we wanted to do and not bother with logistics. They organized a pickup for us from the Airport, the staff was always kind hearted and flexible, and the Room service offers to clean the hotel rooms daily. There are offerings if you are also interested in diving, snorkeling or daily trips to other places of interest in Egypt line Cairo. Though due to its remote nature planning city trips on a larger scale is a little complicated. However if you are interested in water sports and a relaxed stay under palms i can recommend the Breakers.
Nice location with mediocre service
While the location is incredible, the food and hospitality was seriously lacking. The drinks are overpriced and the food was sometimes bad, mostly good, rarely great. There was a couple of nice staff here and there, but mostly everyone was not that nice. The facilities are enjoyable, including a sauna and snorkeling on grounds.
Wonderful stay
Had a lovely time and break. Pristine waters, fantastic jetty and snorkelling.
Fabulous buffet, friendly staff and nice big room.
Two little things though, make sure not to get a room on top of restaurant, fab views but kitchen smells if you stay on balcony. Speeches are mainly in German, an English shortened version would be appreciated for non German speaking holiday makers :)
But all in all, bravo! Super place!

Home away from home
The Breakers has truly become a second home for me. I absolutely love the vibe, the atmosphere, and especially the amazing staff. It’s one of those rare places that fills up your heart. Keep up the fantastic work!
